Air Fryer French Fries

Instructions

1. Rinse and dry the potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch fries, as even as you can so they cook at the same pace.
2. Add the fries to a large bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until every fry is coated. Spread them in the air fryer basket. It’s fine if they overlap a little; leave room for air to move. Cook in two batches if your basket is small.
3. Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes. Shake the basket, rearrange the fries, and cook another 10–15 minutes. Add 1–3 minutes more if they need extra color. Open the basket as soon as they’re done so they don’t steam.
4. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and serve with your favorite dip.
